Im hoping i've just blown fuses? or have i done something much worse??

I replaced 2 of the small sized fues (15 amp) in fuse box beside the battery that i could see had blown but that hasnt made a difference.

Would i have blown the main fuse and where is this located?

Any help really appreciated, feel silly enough for doing this + cant afford to be spending big money fixing it.
